C L A R A M A C K I N L A YDigital design for businesses and individuals in the helping professions.
Your mission is beautiful, let's make sure your website is too.
I’m not your average digital designer.
My unique blend of experiences as an integrative psychotherapist and intuitive healer, combined with my background in writing and interior design, allows me to create gorgeous designs for businesses in the health and wellness space. My work week is divided between supporting therapy clients through holistic healing and bringing creative visions to life through website and graphic design. Even with my split focus, I consistently deliver projects within a 2-4 week timeframe.
My passion for design started in childhood, decorating and rearranging every corner of my parents' house and flipping through design catalogues and color swatch books. In my early 20s, I worked as a writer and editor for tech startups in Los Angeles and New York City. These roles quickly expanded to include website design, search engine optimization, and marketing, with a consistent focus on aesthetics.
I now merge my love for design and service to others by creating beautiful virtual spaces for professionals and organizations dedicated to mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. What sets me apart from most digital designers is my ability to utilize my background in the helping professions to help my clients create an online representation of themselves and their services that resonates with their audience. I excel at conveying their mission and heart with clarity and simplicity, all while delivering an intuitive and beautiful user experience.
Services
I understand how challenging it can be to put yourself out there through a website, digital media, or marketing newsletters. We're often socialized to shy away from self-promotion, even though it's essential in business. That's where I come in: I specialize in creating beautiful, clear, and compelling ways to communicate your message. Whether it's your story, your product, your business, or something else, nothing brings me more joy than bringing my clients' creative visions to life.
Website Design
Whether it’s a simple landing page, personal blog, or a multi-page site, I can bring your vision to life. I focus on creating aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly websites that effectively communicate your brand's message. My clients are always impressed with the first draft and have never requested major edits.
Graphic Design
I’ve created everything from social media and brand templates to event flyers and graphic t-shirts. Need a gorgeous way to sell your product or deliver your message? I’ve got you covered. My designs are tailored to capture attention and convey your brand’s essence with clarity and style.
Email Newsletters
Your marketing materials might be the only chance to capture your clients' attention. My branded, aesthetically stunning newsletters consistently deliver metrics well above industry standards, helping my clients achieve their goals and receive compliments.

I wasted so much time and money trying to get my project done with other people, but then Clara came in and gave me direction, support, and advocated for me.
